Have you ever seen an exploding cart?? Come to see it in Florence on the eastern Sunday!
The ancient Florentine “Lo Scoppio del Carro” goes on stage In Duomo plaza, under the Brunnelleschi’s Dom. At 11 am, from the Main Altar of the Cathedral, the “Colombina” burns the cart with the holy fire (a medieval construction) as sign of Joy for the resurrection of Jesus and as good omen for an abundant Spring and Summer time harvest. The fire has been brought to Florence by Pazzino de Pazzi from the Christ Sepulcher at the end of the First Crusade.
The Explosion of the Cart is preceded by a costume procession with the banner of Florence and the Pazzi family flag on top of it.
